Happy Turkey Day
To All
May your table be plentiful. May you share good times with family and friends, and hopefully the last year has brought things to be thankful for however small or large.
Cheers

Re: Happy Turkey Day
Quite the day for me. Thanksgiving and my wife informed me that we'll have another mouth to feed next year as she's 2 months pregnant.

Re: Happy Turkey Day
Many Congratulations Trevor to you and your wife.
We had a nice family Thanksgiving on Saturday and everyone got pissed on my beer. One friend of the family told me he really loved me, but he qualified it was because of my beer. He’s a billionaire, but like all people who actually have money, he’s really tight with it, and will drive miles to save a few cents on a coffee, so that little affair isn’t going anywhere
Then we spent all of that night at the hospital with our four year old boy. He’s fine now, but poor little guy had epiglottitis, and suddenly became unable to breath at around 10 pm. He almost passed out on us, and made this awful sound with every difficult breath. Wild ambulance ride. They filled him full of steroids at the hospital to reduce the swelling in his airways and that made him hyper. He improved and got up from the stretcher and was disco dancing for the nurses.
At least he’s better now. I’m still a bit stupid (or stupider than usual any way) from the hell, and the absence of sleep. Engoying a pint of Amarillo Galaxy out in the sun and all’s well with the world again.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Re: Happy Turkey Day
Congrats Trevor! My youngest just turned 1 on Sat, middle is 3 on the 7th and eldest is 13 in april. Enjoy sleep while you can!
Mark, glad all is well with your son. My son was rushed into the hospital at 3 months old due to a common cold. Scarriest 2 days of my life while he was in the IWK. And like yourself, my company got pissed off my beer too. Funny how having beer on tap increases consumption haha.

Re: Happy Turkey Day
I'm thankful for a wonderful wife who tolerates my brewing and BBQ hobbies, a great 10 year old who thinks we run both a BBQ shack and a brewery, and the health of my family and friends.
We go kind of nontraditional for a thanksgiving meal, when we have one at home - today it's smoked turkey with gravy, killer mac & cheese, Cole slaw, and sweet potato casserole. Lots of decadence we dont have on a regular basis. Top that off with a beautiful day, great beer and an afternoon watching CFL. Lots to be thankful for.
